In this guide, I'll be listing all the Love Items for each girl. Most of the items in Zack Of All Trades are repeated from Dead Or Alive Xtreme 2, but there are a few new ones, plus some new girls. Use this list to get the girls into a good mood so you can gift those difficult swimsuits!

Most Items are Like Items, which means the girl 'likes' them. Her preference status shows up under the item when you view it as each particular girl. There are also Indifferent and Dislike Items, but I won't list those here Each girl also has one Love Item.

The girls are listed in alphabetical order. (An * denotes that the gift is perishable, and will go bad after a short period of time, and an ± indicates a special item that needs to be unlocked in Zack Of All Trades).

Special Unlockable Items: Each girl has two items that are unlockable depending on her Satisfaction Level. One the item is unlocked it stays unlocked, and is also unlocked for all the other girls. The first item unlocked is always the girl's favorite food, and the second is an item that they like (or don't - there are a couple curve balls!) Here is a list of the unlockable items, and who unlocks them:

Here is a guide to the moods of the girls from Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3. There are two different aspects of the Mood Icon. The image itself, and the color hue around the bubble,which is called Satisfaction Level.

SATISFACTION LEVEL: The hue around the bubble can either be blue or various shades of pink. The hue is linked to owner mode, and how much the girl likes you as owner of the island. This is called Satisfaction Level. Blue is neutral or moody, and pink is happy. The more pink around the icon, the happier the girl is. More pink also is a good indicator that it's a good time to gift swimsuits. Raise your girl's Satisfaction Level by playing games, gifting her Love Items, or completing Missions. The goal is to get your girl to 100 Satisfaction points (a full pink bubble) and 4 hearts of Satisfaction (can be seen when trying to gift in Owner Mode). If you keep playing games or doing Missions after the bubble is fully pink, it will still raise her Satisfaction Level.

SPECIAL PICTORIAL ENDINGS: In order to see the Special Pictorial endings for each girl, you must have her Satisfaction Level to 100, and have completed all 7 of her girl-specific Missions. These will be denoted by saying 1/7, 2/7, etc.

IMAGES: Each girl has four different 'mood icons' that suggest what her disposition is. Understanding what mood goes with what icon is important in the gift giving process. Sometimes it can be difficult because some of the icons are very similar to each other, but with some notable differences if you've got a keen eye. Here is a list of the four Moods each girl can be in:

Very Happy/Confident - The best mood the girl can be in. When she's in this mood, it would be an ideal time to gift swimsuits with a smaller chance of rejection. Though, softening her up with a Love Item or two wouldn't hurt. (You may also see this icon if you are playing as a girl and she does not have a partner). You will see this icon when the face bubble is fully pink.

Happy/Content - The girl is in a good mood, and is favorable towards you as a girl, or also in owner mode. You can gift some easy swimsuits with a good chance of acceptance, but realize that you may have to make her a bit happier and give her a few more Love Items to gift harder swimsuits. When you see this face, you're on the right track to getting 100 Satisfaction Points.

Neutral - This face is the one you will usually see when you're first partnered up with a girl. She's not angry with you, but she's not exactly happy, either. Playing games together and gifting her Love Items will raise her mood. She may partner with you in this mood, but make sure that her music note (friendship level) is high enough or you'll get rejected.

Unhappy/Unwilling - You will see this icon if you've made the girl angry with you (like if you peek when she's changing clothes), or if she generally is moody towards the girl you are playing as. This can be changed with Love Items, but she will not partner with you or accept swimsuits if you see this Icon.

Now for each character's Mood Icons. They appear in the order they do on the selection screen, from Left to Right:

KASUMI:

VERY HAPPY/CONFIDENT

We're getting so close to release that I'm actually having a hard time sleeping at night because I'm so excited. Here are Kasumi's facial icons. She's got such a lovely face, but I prefer her with a ponytail, so I'm going to unlock that ASAP.
